Sep 15 21:39:42 <PuffTheMagic> halfhalo, ping
Sep 15 21:39:52 <halfhalo> mmmyyyyeessss?
Sep 15 21:40:28 <PuffTheMagic> var fs=require('fs')
Sep 15 21:40:31 <PuffTheMagic> oop
Sep 15 21:40:42 <PuffTheMagic> lets say i use node tty
Sep 15 21:40:55 <PuffTheMagic> fd = tty.open('/bin/bash')
Sep 15 21:40:59 <PuffTheMagic> how do i read from that fd now
Sep 15 21:45:50 <halfhalo> I haven't played with tty myself yet, so looking over the docs.  It actually looks like you just use the child process to talk to it.
Sep 15 21:47:10 <PuffTheMagic> idk what that means, im still a node noob
Sep 15 21:48:53 <halfhalo> ok, so when you do tty.open it returns you an array.  the first item is the file descriptor, while the second is a child process object like what is returned by spawn here: http://nodejs.org/docs/v0.4.11/api/child_processes.html
Sep 15 21:49:38 <halfhalo> it gives you a stdout, stdin, and stderr functionality for the process, in this case the /bin/bash process
Sep 15 21:57:47 <PuffTheMagic> halfhalo, so would I use fs to read from the fd's
Sep 15 21:58:26 <halfhalo> in this case i don't think you would read the fd's
Sep 15 21:58:43 <PuffTheMagic> then how do i get info out?
Sep 15 22:00:39 <halfhalo> it would be something like var foo - tty.open("/bin/bash"); foo[1].stdout.on('data',function(data){ console.log(data);}); foo[1].stdin.write("incoming data");
Sep 15 22:02:21 <PuffTheMagic> { killed: false, _internal: { onexit: [Function], pid: 18258 }, stdin: null, stdout: null, stderr: null, pid: [Getter], fds: [ 6, 6, 6 ] }
Sep 15 22:02:26 <PuffTheMagic> that is foo[1]
Sep 15 22:02:33 <PuffTheMagic> i can to .on of null
Sep 15 22:02:36 <PuffTheMagic> cant
Sep 15 22:03:38 <halfhalo> pastebin console.log(tty.open("/bin/bash")) please?  have no node on this system
Sep 15 22:04:35 <PuffTheMagic> http://dpaste.com/615662/
Sep 15 22:06:24 <halfhalo> what node version?
Sep 15 22:06:36 <PuffTheMagic> 049
Sep 15 22:08:32 <halfhalo> ah.  they didn't populate the streams for the three functions.  so you do have to use the fd.  let me try something really quick
Sep 15 22:12:52 <halfhalo> oh snap?  is it really just that?
Sep 15 22:13:09 <halfhalo> var tmp=tty.open("/bin/bash");
Sep 15 22:13:31 <halfhalo> tmp[0].on("data",function(data){console.log(data)});
Sep 15 22:13:54 <halfhalo> tmp[0].write("stuff")
Sep 15 22:15:09 <PuffTheMagic> ah
Sep 15 22:17:30 <PuffTheMagic> do i need to do process.stdout.resume();
Sep 15 22:17:38 <PuffTheMagic> to get the "~ #" prompt
Sep 15 22:19:46 <halfhalo> no.  process is for the main host process (and process.stdin.resume() just makes it so data is able to be input into the host stdin, not the childs)
Sep 15 22:20:40 <PuffTheMagic> i was sorta expecting data as soon as i set the callback
Sep 15 22:20:48 <PuffTheMagic> but that didnt happen
Sep 16 00:39:54 <halfhalo> node 0.4.12 was just released, and would actually be a really good candidate for people to install if they happen to have an earlier version in the 0.4.12 series since it removes the DigiNotar certs.
Sep 16 00:45:20 <halfhalo> actually, looking at the patch i can build a 0.2.3 node with the cert removed as well
